Festival Structures

Temporary structures for every working part of a festival

From VIP hospitality and festival bars to catering, staff welfare and backstage operations, different parts of an event need different types of covered space.

  • Planning to collection

Structures by Festival Area

Five core spaces we can help you create

VIP & Hospitality

Guest lounges, sponsor hospitality and VIP festival structures designed around comfort, furniture and the atmosphere you want to create.

Festival Bars

Covered festival bar structures planned around service counters, queues, guest movement and the wider festival layout.

One Festival, Multiple Requirements

Plan the structures as one event, not five separate hires

A festival may need guest hospitality at one end of the site, bars and catering in public areas, staff welfare behind the scenes and production cover close to backstage operations.

Planning those spaces together makes it easier to consider structure type, positioning, installation access, additional equipment and delivery schedules as one coordinated project.

Our festival marquee hire service explains how we bring multiple temporary structures together across one event.

Festival Site Planning

Position structures around people, access and operations

Where a temporary structure sits can affect guest movement, service access, installation, nearby event areas and how efficiently teams can work.

When several structures are required, thinking about them as part of the wider site plan can help create a more practical festival layout.

Frequently Asked Questions

Festival structure FAQs

Can you provide structures for several different areas of one festival?

Yes. We can coordinate multiple structures for public-facing and operational areas as part of the same festival project.

Which marquee type is best for VIP hospitality?

Pagoda marquees, stretch tents and gazebos can all work for hospitality depending on the capacity, style and level of openness required.

Which structures work best for festival bars?

Stretch tents and pagoda marquees are often useful for bars because they can create clear, accessible covered social spaces.

Can you provide staff and backstage structures?

Yes. Temporary structures can be planned for staff welfare, production and backstage requirements alongside guest-facing festival areas.

Can different marquee types be mixed across one site?

Yes. Different areas may benefit from different structures, so gazebos, pop-up marquees, pagodas and stretch tents can be combined within one festival setup.

Can you provide furniture, flooring and lighting as well?

Yes. Additional event equipment can be coordinated alongside the structures depending on the requirements of each area.
